This could be one of the more active off-seasons in recent years for the Stars. First a new coach in Glen Gulutzan, fingers crossed on good news on the ownership front, and GM Joe will actually be forced to be somewhat of a player in the free agent market. Not that he's rolling through downtown Dallas with the top down screaming out “Money aint a thang!', to quote Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri...

Marian Gaborik's 12th career NHL Hat Trick and second of the season helped lead the Rangers to a 6-5 victory last night over the Islanders at the Nassau Coliseum.

First it was Devils’ star sniper Ilya Kovalchuk.
Scratch that.
First came the infamous Avery \”stick screen\”on Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur which led to a goal back in the first round of the 2008 playoffs. With his back to the play, he swayed his arms and stick back and forth to block Brodeur's vision. Marty wasn't happy. He didn't shake hands with Avery after the Devs were o...
